Abstract:
A complex type cleaner comprises: a body (10); a suction head (20) arranged at a lower side of the body (10), for sucking dust at the time of performing a vacuum cleaning and sucking dirty water at the time of performing a water cleaning; a suction fan (12) for generating a suction force so that dust and dirty water can be sucked into the suction head (20); a reservoir (14) detachably mounted at the body (10) and storing dust or dirty water; and a valve assembly (16) for converting a cleaning mode into a vacuum cleaning mode or a water cleaning mode by selectively opening and closing passages connected among the suction head (20), the reservoir (14), and the suction fan (12). A vacuum cleaning function for sucking dust and a water cleaning function are implemented at one cleaner, thereby reducing the cost and facilitating the usage and the storage.
Abstract:
A centrifugal fan (12) includes a driving motor (58) for generating a rotational force; an impeller (62) connected with the driving motor by a rotational shaft (60) and generating an air blowing force; a partition plate (82) installed inside an impeller casing (52); a diffuser (80) formed at an edge portion of an upper surface of the partition plate and increasing a pressure of air which has passed through the impeller; a rear vane (84) formed at a lower surface of the partition plate and guiding air discharged from the diffuser so as to pass through the driving motor; and an air guiding member (90) formed at certain intervals at an outer surface of the diffuser and guiding air which has passed through the diffuser toward the rear vane. Air which has passed through the diffuser is forcibly introduced to the lower side of the partition plate, so a flow loss caused as air is re-circulated to the upper side of the partition plate after passing through the diffuser can be reduced, and thus, a suction force and efficiency of the centrifugal fan can be enhanced.
Abstract:
A remote observation system and a method thereof includes: a robot cleaner for capturing images from the surroundings of a preset patrol path while traveling the preset patrol path and outputting image signals of the images captured from the surroundings when a mode of the robot cleaner is switched to the patrol mode by user's input signal; and a network connection device for transmitting the image signals outputted from the robot cleaner to user equipment through a communications network.

Abstract:
A filtering device for a vacuum cleaner comprises: a casing having a collecting space therein, a suction opening through which air including dust is sucked and a discharge opening through which purified air is discharged; a filter installed at the internal space of the casing, for filtering dust from air sucked through the suction opening; and a filter cleaning unit disposed to encompass an outer circumferential surface of the filter, for cleaning the filter by being rotated by a rotation force of air sucked through the suction opening. Accordingly, the filtering device can remove fine dust attached to the filter in a cleaning operation, thereby preventing a channel of the filter from being closed with the dust.
Abstract:
An air purifying robot and its operation method capable of purifying air using a mobile robot are disclosed. To this end, an air purifying robot comprises: a main body casing having a certain space therein, and provided with a suction hole for sucking ambient air and a discharge hole for discharging the purified air; a fan motor installed in the main body casing, and rotating so as to suck the ambient air of the main body casing through the suction hole; a dust collecting filter for filtering pollutants contained in the ambient air having been sucked through the suction hole; main wheels installed at a lower surface of the main body casing at a certain interval therebetween, and driven by the motor; an auxiliary wheel installed so as to maintain a horizontal state of the main casing, and moving the air purifying robot together with the main wheels; and a control unit for controlling the fan motor, the dust collecting filter and the main wheels.
